The losses sustained by Longstreet’s corps are re-ported (“Official Records,” Vol. XII., Pt. II., p. 568) as663 killed, 4016 wounded, and 46 missing, in all 4725.Jackson reported his losses at 805 killed, 3547 wounded,and 35 missing, or a total of 4387 (“Official Records.”Vol. XII., Pt. XL, p. 648), but the reports of his subordi-nate commanders aggregate 871 killed, 3713 wounded,and 45 missing = 4629. Adopting these latter liguresas Jackson ’s loss, wo have, after including the loss of120 in Stuart’s cavalry (less Fitzliugh Lee’s brigade, notreported), a grand total of 1553 killed, 7812 wounded,and 109 missing = 9474.

Unquestionably the casualties given in these tablesfor both armies are too small, but they are the nearestapproximation attainable from the records.

It is impossible to compute with precision the numberof men actually present on the Held of battle at Grove-ton and Bull Run. The official returns and reports arenot only imperfect, but often contradictory. However,a careful study of the subject, based upon the best in-formation obtainable, justifies the conclusion that, theeffective strength of the army under Pope ’s commandwas at least 63,000, and that of the Confederate armyabout 54,000 —of all arms. The compulation of Pope ’sforces includes his own proper command (exclusive ofBanks ’s corps, which did not reach the scene of action),Reno ’s corps, and the reenforeenieutN received from tlieArmy of the Potomac. The Confederate force has beenestimated by some writers as low as 47,000. Others con-cede the number given above. Colonel William Allan,late eliief-of-ordnancc. Second Corps, Army of NorthernVirginia, in a paper upon the subject, contributed to theMilitary Historical Society of Massachusetts, concludesthat on the 28th of August, Pope had 70,000men (includ-ing Banks ’s corps), and Lee about 49,000.
